i am the youngest daughter and it feels that i am not. they said that the youngest is the most precious sibling of all but not me. but nevertheless, i did not regret it because it's not that i have no other choice but i am raise with beauty and grace.

I believe that children are precious; it doesn't matter if the kid is the first one or the youngest. All of them have to be cherished and lavished with love and attention. Being the youngest sibling does put you in an enviable position: you have your older siblings to love you on top of your parents. Are you treated any differently from them? You see, I believe that if until this day your family is complete, in good health and not in want of the basic necessities of daily living, you are far luckier than most people in this planet.

yes, i am treated differently from my other siblings. that is the main reason why i was married at an early age since i want to get out and live the kind of family that puts attention towards me. it is not that i am conceited it is just that the attention i received was not enough to answer the satisfaction of being the youngest daughter.

Aww sorry to hear that. Well now that you already have a family of our own, I hope you will soon come into terms with your inner struggles not only for your sake but those of your children or future children. It wont be easy, I know, but now more than ever, you have more reasons to put the past behind you and move forward--your own family. Take care and God bless!

All of the children in a family are precious, but I really do think that the reasons that each child is precious really does have some dependance on their birth order. I was precious to my parents because of the fact that I was the oldest and for that reason I did develop a really strong bond with my parents during the years that I was an only child. My brother was precious because of the fact that he was the only son and my sister because she was the last baby that my mother was going to have.

correct, i guess each sibling is treated and approached differently. i guess, my mind is just so closed to things that made me frightened of things that i don't want or being alone.
